Use of SPC in Manufacturing of Composite Parts
Use of SPC in Manufacturing of Composite Parts
(OP)
I work in a factory that manufactures large composite structures using both hand layup and fiber placement machines. We are required by our customer to use SPC, but we are having difficulty idetifying processes where SPC data collection actually helps us make better parts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

SPC (Statistical Process Control) can be used to accomplish many different goals.
Can you give more input regarding their motivation behind the request?

It would be in your best interest to project an attitude of enthusiatic compliance. Select a few "key process variables" and record them. Remember, both you and your customer want to see high Cpk.
